Doggy Liver Detox Diet

Liver damage is extremely harmful to a dog’s health. The liver is essential in almost all of a dog’s biological processes. Your dog’s diet can be hard on their liver, but “Food can also be a powerful tool to correct acute and chronic disease”. Dr Jean Dodds

Liver-cleansing diets are generally considered to be holistic practices, according to “The Holistic Guide for a Healthy Dog,” by Wendy Volhard.

The duration of this diet is 4 to 6 weeks only, unless a vet like Dr. Jean recommends it to manage a serious health condition

According to Dr. W. Jean Dodds here is one liver cleansing diet:

Sweet Potato and White potato in equal portions (make sure NOT to use ANY green skin from the potato)

White Colored low-fat Fish – slightly cooked

Mix 2/3 potato mix with 1/3 fish

Season with garlic, mixed Italian herbs or parsley

Later you can add chopped carrots, zucchini,and other veggies like string beans, celery and summer squash in moderation and scrambled eggs if tolerated.

Get a children’s liquid multivitamin (dog ones tend to have beef or other meets as flavoring)

Milk Thistle can be added to a dog’s diet to help cleanse the liver. Use the dog’s weight as a percentage of the human dose to determine the correct dosage of milk thistle.
